I did weight watchers in the past and got down to 135. They changed their point model since then and I don't like the newer version as much since it required a calculator I had to carry around and enter the fat, protein and fiber for everything I ate. I find MFP much easier to use now than WW. The biggest benefit of weight…

I can't eat anything with a lot of grease/oil/butter on it. One of my favorite restaurants to go to with friends sautes their veggies in a bunch of butter and their garlic mashed potatoes come out with a pool of butter on it. Last time I went I asked for no extra butter and was able to eat my entire meal without getting an…

I started using it over a year ago (maybe two?) but I started logging consistently again a month ago. I've found when I log consistently and hold myself accountable to my calories in/out I can lose the weight. The 6th will be one month since my initial weigh-in/measurements for this round and I know I'm down a few pounds…

I have been lurking a lot lately too. I just started using the forums for motivation and help. Feel free to add me. I log my food and exercise regularly.

Make sure you buy the unsweetened almond milk. The sweetened almond milk is about 90 calories per cup (I think, I use unsweetened vanilla). Of course, if you buy sweetened you could skip the sweetener, I don't know how many calories that would add.

I also got down to a really healthy weight years ago and then gained it back. Right now I'm 5'6" ~170 lbs. I'm looking to get down to 150 lbs over the next 3 months (if possible) by eating healthy (high protein diet), strength training 3-4 days a week and running. I signed up to complete a Tough Mudders with some friends…

Most of the vegetables listed are good sauteed with with a little bit of butter/olive oil and garlic. You don't have to use a ton of oil or butter, just enough to keep them from burning and a little bit of fat is good for you. Generally I get my fats from cooking my vegetables like this and from lean meats. I don't really…

I love working with free weights. I also have run into problems with keeping my grip long enough to finish my reps when I start using heavier weights. I use gloves to keep my hands from getting tender from the grip, but I have some straps I bought for helping me hold heavier weights longer. You can find them at any fitness…

Anything a little bit acidic will work wonders. I have a carne asada recipe that uses orange juice for the base of the marinade. It's pretty good.

I personally prefer working with free weights. If you do the moves right you can feel exactly what muscles you are working. Like KatLifter said, I would definitely work with a trainer to make sure you are doing good form and to help you identify what weight you should use for different moves as well as teaching you basics.…
